Director’s Notes Liar, thief, swindler, scam artist, conman…sinner. How often do we truly look for the good in others, even in those who we per- ceive as having no goodness within them? Are faults and flaws so much easier to see that we refuse to earnestly seek goodness? Sometimes those who we believe are undeserving of our kindness and love are actually the ones who need it the most. In our judgment of others, do we stop to examine our own hearts? Jesus commands His followers to love their neighbors as they love themselves. It is important to note that He did not add, “As long as they de- serve it.” Aren’t we glad that on a daily, or even hourly basis, He doesn't give us what we truly deserve? The Bible tells us in Romans 3:23, “For ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (emphasis added). Therefore, we must ask DIRECTOR the Lord to soften our hearts in order to help us see others as He sees them. Only then will we be able to help change the heart of another fellow sinner. Professor Harold Hill, conman and sinner extraordinaire, has found himself in the quaint and stubborn Iowa town of River City. Upon his arrival, he receives the cold shoulder from the townspeople, but he gets a boost and persistently presses forward with his plan when he runs into his old partner-in-crime, Mar- cellus Washburn. Marcellus provides him with just the right piece of infor- mation he needs to convince this town that it is in deep trouble. That’s Trouble ’ with a capital T that rhymes with P that stands for Pool. Naturally, Harold has a S NOTE solution and he tells the town that the only way out of this trouble is to form a boys’ band to help “keep them moral after school.” Harold’s primary obstacle, however, is the snooty town librarian, Marian Paroo, who knows how to do her homework and can see right through Harold’s charm- ing façade. For Marian, though, seeing her socially awkward and forlorn little brother, who rarely speaks because of his lisp, come to life at the prospect of being in the boys’ band, seems to soften her position…and her heart. She begins to see the goodness in Harold causing him to let his guard down…something Harold has never done. First Corinthians 13:1 says “If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cym- bal” So, how do we help change the heart of a sinner? We love them.

She also worked with Columbus Children’s PRODUCTION Theatre where she portrayed Jadis in The Magician’s Nephew, the White Witch in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and Kissing Kate Barlow and other various roles in Holes. She gives all glory to God for allowing her to explore her talents and theatrical passions again in a Christian environment. “Each of you should use whatever gift you have to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms” 1 Peter 4:10. It is her prayer that she has indeed served this school, these students and their parents and teachers to the best of her abilities. Cheers and God bless!
